(Sports Network) - The last team that the Brooklyn Nets might want to see during their longest losing streak of the season is the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Bucks have been a hand full for the Nets over the past few seasons and look to push their winning streak in this series to 12 straight in Sunday evening's meeting in Brooklyn.

The Nets won their final five games of November, but have opened the new month with three straight setbacks. That includes the first two of a four-game residency, dropping Brooklyn to 7-3 at home this season.

Despite a season-high 32 points from Joe Johnson on Friday, the Nets lost a 109-102 game to the Golden State Warriors. Deron Williams added 23 points and eight assists as Brooklyn shot just 34 percent in the second half after being up eight at halftime.

Without center Brook Lopez for the fourth consecutive game because of a foot injury, the Nets gave up 50 points in the paint and 18 second-chance points, though Andray Blatche had 22 points and 15 rebounds in his place.

"We're definitely missing him," Williams said of Lopez, who has been ruled out for this game. "He's a big part of our team. Hopefully he'll be back soon."

The Nets could have used Lopez tonight given that they have not beaten the Bucks since March 3, 2009 in Milwaukee. The Bucks have swept the series in each of the past three seasons to build their winning streak over the Nets and have won six straight as the guest in this series.

Milwaukee's last loss on the road versus the Nets came on Feb. 3, 2009 in New Jersey.

The Bucks snapped a two-game slide with Friday's 108-93 triumph over the Charlotte Bobcats. It was just Milwaukee's third victory in 10 games, but put it back to .500 at 9-9.
